Pastor Haagon teaches of the choice we have to walk in fear, care and worry, or allowing God's Spirit to bring Power, Love and a Sound mind. When coming into the life Jesus has payed for, we still need to renew our minds with how we think, and there is a freedom found when we learn to let go of the bondage in fear and worry.

Pastor Haagon teaches today on our Fellowship with fellow brothers and sisters in the Body of Christ. Also how our spiritual health and growth is dependent on how well we are connected to the body.

There are also things we need to check that may not be physically apparent, but are vitally important to our spiritual well-being.
Join in as our Guest Minister Lane Lloyd teaches on trusting God in unforeseen situations. There are times in this life when tragedy can happen and we are faced with two choices, walking away or drawing near to God. Even when we don't understand what to do, draw near to God and He will be with us no matter what this Fallen world tries to throw at us.
Our Guest Minister Lane Lloyd ministers about the importance of courage, and the need for it in our lives. God has a call and purpose for our lives, and in that call we are supposed to be "strong and courageous," taking a stance and making a change.
Pastor Haagon teaches of the Heart of Missions with our Church, and seeing a balanced perspective we as the Church should have. We are, and should be connected to World Mission, because it is vital to the passion and purpose of the Church. Knowing what is our local mission, as well as the world mission.
Just as there are different languages, dialect's and accents in the world, we as believer's are to have a different language as well. Pastor Haagon begins a new series of our language, which is that of Faith.
Pastor Haagon begins a new series about having Vision for Growth. There are 2 parts to a church growing, and that is in leadership writing the vision plain and simple, as well as the people recognizing and attending to make it happen. As the church has a constant attention to the Kingdom of God growing, there will be vision also for how best to grow your local church.
Join in as Pastor Haagon preaches over the time of Jesus before the crucifixion, and what Jesus accomplished for us on the cross. How He has made us new creations, and we are now the righteousness of God, through Christ.
Continuing in our series of being Spirit Led, Pastor Haagon focuses on distinguishing the 3 parts of how we are, Spirit, Soul and body. We can understand our body, since it can be seen, but the Spirit and Soul take more attention. When focussing on our Spiritual life with God, we can learn and hear better in our spiritual guidance from the Holy Spirit and not be dictated by our flesh.
Being the week before Resurrection Sunday, Pastor Haagon teaches about Palm Sunday and the Life of Jesus before the Crucifixion.
Pastor Haagon continues in his lesson of being led by the Holy Spirit. As sons and daughters of God, we are to expect the Holy Spirit to lead us. Jesus told the disciples that there was going to be another helper that would lead us into all Truth, and that Helper is the Holy Spirit.
Pastor Haagon teaches about God's Love and how unconditional it really is. Even when we are not living for God, or loving God ourselves, God's Love is not dictated by our actions. It is always abounding towards us, believing and hoping for the best.
As Pastor Haagon continues in the series of prayer, we look at the importance of being led by the Spirit. We cannot be led by the natural when praying over spiritual things, because our natural side is moved solely by what it sees naturally. But our Spirit sees by the spiritual things, and that is God's Word.
As Pastor Haagon continues in the series of being done with fear, today's focus is about how the enemy hates you. The more knowledge we have about something, the less fear we have. Satan is the defeated foe and we should see him that way always.
As we continue our study of Prayer in our lives, Pastor Haagon teaches over the Power of Prayer. That we see where the power comes from, and also our place in it. There is a position of intercessors that we are called to be as for those around us, and we must study the Word to see how we are to operate.
Join in as Pastor Haagon teaches about passing the mantle of Faith to the next generation. Showing how it is our responsibility to pass the Baton of Faith, and teaching them how to believe and trust God.

Fear is in reality; a healthy protection instinct that has been perverted by Satan and this sinful world into PHOBIA… Imagine all you could and would do if fear was gone. Join in as Pastor Haagon teaches about controlling fear through the Word of God, and how we can walk courageously through this life.
Our Special Guest, Dustin Martin, comes with an encouraging word for the New year of 2024. With our position as Sons and Daughters of God, we need to understand the Kingdom that we are apart of, and the power that is at work in our lives too. That despite the opposition we face, the Kingdom of Heaven will advance, and people will continue to find salvation through Jesus.
Pastor Haagon teaches on the 2 greatest marks, or characteristics of the Church to have, and that is Truth and Love. As we, the Church Body of Christ, walk through this life having truth and love we will have God working through us as well.
As we continue our series on "Christ the Healer," Pastor Haagon teaches on Staying strong in our Faith as we go through times of sickness or weakness. We do live in a fallen world still and sickness is something we will face, but we can't allow our outward circumstance shape our perspective of who God is, or what His Word says.
Join in as we start our new Wednesday Night teachings on Who we are In Christ. Pastor Haagon begins with showing in Scripture our position of Righteousness, and what that means for us now as believers. That God is not waiting for us to do bad, so He can smite us down after.
As we walk in this life, it is easy to doubt, and sometimes encourages to not trust God to much. But no where in the Word does it say that's ok. Pastor Haagon teaches on having true confidence in God the Father, and why we should trust Him so much.
Our special Guest Glenn Rogers is back again to teach on growing and using Faith in our lives. Looking at faith, it see's what God's word says, Faith Says what God's word says, and Faith Acts on what God's word says.
Join in as Pastor Haagon teaches about our Faith in Circumstances. In life our circumstances will bring direction, but what direction does that take us? As we have faith, it will bring a direction straight to the things of God, and can allow His hand to strengthen us, and work mightily around us.
Join in as our Guest Minister Brother Glenn Rogers shares about God's plan in our lives. There is a Vision God gives that helps bring focus. A mission that brings us to walk towards our calling. And a culture that is tied into our values, practices, and beliefs.
Pastor Haagon teaches about Christ the Healer, and different instances in the Gospel of Jesus's healing ministry. We need to make sure that our opinions of God's supernatural healing are not just based on experience. To have a biblical foundation to base it on, and not allowing circumstance to change what the Word says.
Join in as Pastor Haagon teaches us how to Chart our course in life through Prayer. In seeking God, we must first solidify and know that God is there. In His plan for us we must not be passive, but walk specific and willing, and confess God's Word over our lives.
Pastor Haagon continues on his sermon of why we go to Church, and this week he teaches of the way we should plug in. Instead of being just consumers, but also connectors. We are called to a relation based life, and not works based as we join in Unity as the body of Christ.
We often forget where God has brought us from, and we need to remind ourselves of what the Lord has done. Remember to rush when God says rush, and slow down when God says slow down.
Join in as Pastor Haagon teaches on the importance of why we come together to attend Church. We the People are the Church, but there is an influence and calling God has on each Local Church body, and how they reach out into the surrounding communities.
As we begin this New Year, what are the cycles we revolve on in our lives? Pastor Haagon teaches today on the priorities we allow over others, and should we grow them, or break them. It may not be what do I need to add to make the year better, but it could be what do I need to get rid of to grow closer to God and spread His Kingdom.
Join in as we celebrate and look over the birth of Jesus this Christmas Eve. Pastor Haagon looks at the birth, and life of Jesus, as well as the importance of Communion with the Church Body.
Today we are joined by our Guest Minister, Brother Joey Roberts. He speaks on the things we are sowing into our lives. Importantly, what are the things we are speaking in our lives. When we have Faith and Trust in God, and let His Word take root in us, there is an incorruptible life at work that supernaturally transforms everything around us.
Join in as Pastor Haagon teaches on walking in Love in our lives, and the biblical motives that must follow it. There is an unseen humility that is found in the Christian walk of Faith that we must strive for, because we should be living for the Father.
As we continue in our teaching of the Holy Spirit, Pastor Haagon teaches today on the importance of having a strong spirit. That a strong spirit is where true strength comes from, and how we build our spirit to be strong is through our relationship with the Father.
Join in as Pastor Haagon continues his teachings about the Holy Spirit, with today's message about Him being our Teacher. Even though the times have changed since Jesus walked the Earth, God's Spirit still knows what is best for today, and how to best reach the people of this Generation.
Join in as Pastor Haagon continues on the Ministry of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Have you ever needed help, but was to prideful to ask? We all have been this way, and there is freedom when we realize that we have a helper sent from God to lead and guide us through the trials this world offers.
Join in as Pastor Haagon begins a new Wednesday night series of the Ministry of the Holy Spirit in our lives.
Join in today as Missionary Paul Troquille shares on how God is moving in this world mightily, and encourages on a message about our Desire and Wanting to Live for the Lord.
The Glory of God sets the Standard for our lives, and the anointing sets us up to receive that Glory, and walk in that standard. It is always constant and never runs out. Join in as Guest Minister Brother Dustin Martin teaches on the Glory of God in our lives.
In the Greek, Adversary is translated from "an opponent in a lawsuit." We need to think less of a physical fight we face, and more of a courtroom. Satan tries to accuse us and put us down with his lies, but Jesus has set us free from these accusations and has payed in full our sentence.
Before salvation through Jesus, we are prey in this world to the devil, because he is the god of this world. But after, there is power and authority that we are given when united with Christ. Jesus is the victory and He triumphed over the enemy fully. We now are no longer the hunted, but we become the hunters.
There is a spiritual revolution coming where Jesus will take the throne here on the earth, where He will reign with His church. No matter who you are, there are no exemptions. Even though there is a spiritual war happening we can stand in an everlasting peace only found in Christ.
What are some of the roles we are called to as followers of Jesus? #1 is a calling to prayer, and with that is what we are praying for. As Jesus saw the multitudes as having no one to guide them into salvation, we must stand up to the Calling He gave us. In courage, faith, and unity, we must reach out into this world to a truly great harvest for the Kingdom of God.
Today's message is by one of our Faithful members Micah Andres, and he comes with a good study of putting the punishment before the crime. In this world there are many teachings and theories of the history of mankind and other things, and we need to be able to place it in order on the time table. Join in as Brother Micah teaches on the biblical timetable and making sure we fit things in the correct order.
Todays message is given by special guest Brother Lane Lloyd. He teaches about knowing who we are, and who we are with God. Using the amazing example of Clark Kent as being Superman, and also just as being Clark Kent. Without God we are just Clark, and have no power to do anything of God in ourselves. But with the power of the Holy Spirit in our lives, we are like Superman, when we follow His leading and voice. Join in for an encouraging message from Brother Lane.
In life, there are certain things that don't always work themselves out. We as believers have an active position of expectation in Hope, founded on God's character and promises. When we get saved, we are now supposed to grow in Faith and in God's Word, learning in expecting, receiving, and being intentional.
The difference between doing a job, and a job that lasts is the prep work. It takes time, but will make sure your work lasts the test of time. With our growth as the body of Christ we have prep work to do in our lives to prepare the work God has for us.
There will be a lot of crazy things to happen before Jesus comes back for His Church, and He said that these things would happen. It shouldn't overtake us in worry, but we also shouldn't completely ignore it. We must not be intoxicated by this world and the false identity it brings, but walk in the plan God has for us and spread the work of Jesus.
Pastor Haagon begins teaching a new series about the Love of God, and how it is to operate in our lives. That we should walk in Love towards all those around us. As we continue in our daily lives, what we say and do must be wrapped in Love, because we don't know what will come of it. Let's be sure to sow the seeds of Love as we walk out our days.
No person truly knows anthers heart. We see the outside actions which can look, but what's the motive? Only God know's our hearts and motives towards our work for others. God sent Jesus, not to make bad people good, but to make dead people alive.
This week as we continue to study on knowing the Season of the End Days, we look to Jesus Parables and Words in the Gospels. The different perspectives of the Disciples of what Jesus says does give us a good look into the end days seasons, and we can find encouragement from what the Apostle Paul says in the epistles as well.
Looking into all the Law's and Mandates that our countries can bring into effect, there is nothing new happening. We look in the Book of Daniel for lessons and instruction on how we can live for God, as well as for our Country. We give our lives for God's Kingdom, but do not let our country dictate who we worship and live for, but we can also be beneficial for our country with these boundaries.
Where is our hope? We can have a trust to an extent at certain things in this world, but our trust and hope must be fully in God. We study where scripture talks of our Hope in God, not being afraid in the end days, to keep our trust in Jesus. Join in for our last Wednesday night study on knowing the seasons.
What is the real work to prayer in our lives? Prayer is the work that determines the long term or short term effect of the things of our lives. If we aren't praying over our situations, do we truly love and care about them? Prayer is such an important outlet of life into our lives that we can not neglect. Allowing the words we speak to influence our jobs, marriages and personal lives.
We continue studying about seeing and knowing the Season of Jesus' return. Some specifics of what happens around Israel, as well as what Jesus said of the end times. This is not something we as believers should be afraid of, but to find encouragement in because our King is coming for us!
Today we have special guest, Missionary Jeff Duncan. Brother Jeff has been in the city of Leon, Guanajuato in Mexico for over 12 years now greatly impacting the surrounding areas and communities mightily for the Kingdom of God. He ministers to us about what has impacted his ministry, a dangerous prayer, the prayer of availability. Behind the prayer there are steps at our process we must make sure are present as well. God will use us mightily, as we make ourselves available for Him.
We continue in our look of the end times, and through the perspective of our position in Christ, as Joint Heirs. We will never know the day of the Second Coming, but we can learn the season, and the importance of our call to go into the world. We have been given a Mission and a Power to go, through the Cross of Jesus, to spread the news of the Salvation found only in Him.
Nobody knows the moment when Jesus will come back for His Church. But there is a season that we can be aware of, shown in the Bible. It is important to be aware of and know of this season. Also that we as believers should not worry or be afraid, but have Faith and Joy that our King is coming and we are beside Him in Victory!
Pastor Haagon teaches from Philippians chapter 3, where the Apostle Paul tells the church in Philippi 2 specific things. Let go of the past that holds you back, and look forward to the call of God on your life. There is a mighty plan of God over your life, that will help grow you and His kingdom for the better. So look to the Hope of His calling in your life today, and let go of what prevents you from moving forward.
What do you need God to do in your life? God will work, and an important factor is that we know His Word, ad His promises. We need to know who we are also. It's not always immediately, so be encouraged and stand firm in God's promises in His Word.
This week Pastor Haagon and our group of 8 returns from our mission trip to Leon Mexico, and we see the timing of the Holy Spirit. We will never be the witnesses God wants us to be, in our own strength. The harvest is very grand, and the laborers are few, but with the Holy Spirit working in our lives we can reap a mighty harvest for the Kingdom of God, and we cannot do it on our own.
What is a best kept secret? It is something that that everyone should know, but they don't know. Today ministering is special guest Brother Greg Fritz, and he ministers on what he thinks is the best kept secret. What is the hope of God's calling for us? The Bible teaches that God's pan is best for you, and we need to search what is this plan, and pray it out over our lives.
We continue seeing the immersion of the Holy Spirit working within our lives. How important did Jesus show the Holy Spirit in our lives? Pastor Haagon also shows an importance, and difference with water baptism. How it is an outward showing of our commitment to God.
There are two sides people take with the Holy Spirit in our lives; one is that there is no outward effect, and He is preached against in our lives. Another side is very funky, crazy and a little weird, and some have taken this teaching too far. There are some crazy things that can happen when God's Spirit moves, and so we want to search out the Biblical Truth in this teaching. Join in as Pastor Haagon teaches on the Holy Spirit in our Lives.
Today Pastor Haagon begins teaching on the power of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Studying into the words of Jesus to better understand who the "Helper" is in our lives. There is something special in the gift of the infilling of the Holy Spirit, so let's study it together and begin to grow our relationship with the Spirit of God in our daily lives.
Today we have missionaries from Tanzania, Pattie and Titus Kasomo, join us and tell us about their Ministry in Africa called Dream Now Tanzania Ministry, as well as give an encouraging message. If you would like to join in supporting their mission in Tanzania you may go to www.lifechurch.la, Go to Giving, Missions-Kasomo, then follow instructions to give a one time offering or recurring monthly support. You can contact them and receive their newsletter as well by emailing them at kasomomissiontz@gmail.com, or check out their Facebook page at Kasomo Mission Tanzania. This is a beautiful Ministry God is working through, and any support can further the plan of God for the kids in Tanzania mightily.
Today, guest minister Brother Dustin Martin teaches about the anointing of the Holy Spirit over our lives. A lot of times we associate the anointing with the ministers we see, and we compare ourselves with these seasoned men and women of Faith. It can be discouraging, so let's take a closer look at the anointing that is over us and grow bolder in our faith.
Do you think you can go to God the Father and talk to Him about anything? Understanding you don't have to make yourself seem better, because He already knows you fully. But He also sees you in Christ. Jesus's blood that was shed paid for something that we could never be able to pay for. Join in as Pastor Haagon teaches about our relationship to the Father, and Happy Father's Day from Word of Faith.
Pastor Haagon continues in Paul's points of attaining salvation only through Christ. That we are to "habitually live and behave in newness of life." That our old sinful nature may be ineffective and inactive in us. Begin to live in an unbroken fellowship with the Father, and be encouraged with our Wednesday teaching in Romans.
God's Word is something to interact with and bring into your daily life. Having a steady diet of God's truth is very important for us, and we cannot use an intellectual mind to interact with a spiritual God. This is how God's Word is, growing our Spiritual life, and growing our interaction with God, through prayer and reading His Word. Join in as Pastor Haagon continues in this lesson of building Faith.
Moving onto Romans 5, Pastor continues first with Abraham being the Father of many Nations. How God's Promise was added unto all people, and not just the Jewish people. That by faith we have access to an acceptance by Jesus Christ. Learning to take off the old nature, and now we are to put on our new nature which is to be Christ like. v
What we allow to come out of our mouth is very important. the Bible teaches what we believe in our hearts and confess with our mouths, we have. God created us and all we see, by His words, and we are made in His image. We as humans are the only thing made that way, and what we think is often what we speak. Pastor Haagon teaches in God's word the importance of filling our minds and mouths with God's word continually.
With the Apostle Paul addressing the Jewish believers in Rome, Pastor Haagon teaches on this importance of Faith based Righteousness. There is Grace given to us through Jesus's sacrifice on the cross, and there is no work big enough to earn this gift. But God has freely given this way back to throne room . Join in for our continued study in the book of Romans.
Today we have Guest Minister, Brother Dustin Martin. Brother Dustin teaches us about living in holiness. On the Topic of Holiness, the Apostle Peter instructs is to "Be like the Holy one who called us." Jesus has made us into the righteousness of God! In these times as the forces of darkness become bolder, we need to become even more bold. Walk in Holiness as Jesus did, and don't shrink back.
We at Word of Faith believe in reaching the world, this is Pastor Haagon filling the Church in on what we are doing with Missionaries, as well as our church outreaches. If you would like to help be a part of our outreaches you can visit our website at www.woftx.com and give online. God is doing a good work, and you can join in to help be a part.
As we enter Roman's 3, Pastor Haagon opens in context of the Roman Church being mainly Gentile, and what happened when Jewish background believers came back to the area. Bringing this context to us today, we do not need man-made rules and regulations to dictate us. We follow God's lifestyle of Love and let it rule us. There is freedom in Christ and living a godly lifestyle. Join in for our study in the book Romans.
Today was our senior service, honoring our graduating seniors. God has a plan and a purpose. To prosper and live a life filled with His Grace. Even when things go crazy, He has a plan. We need to be sure to seek the Father and His Word continually though, because that is the key to the door of His plans.
Pastor Haagon continues his Chapter study in the book or Romans in chapter 2. Continuing to take a look into the mindset brought by the nature of sin. The way that it takes the goodness of God and calls it not good, "Do you despise the riches of His Goodness?" or another way is to say do you reject the riches of His Goodness. Do not reject Jesus because He has payed the ultimate price to bring you a life that is filled with the Goodness of God.
Happy Mother's Day. It takes a gift to be a mother, strong and dedicated to raise the next generation. Pastor Haagon teaches about the Gifting of being a mother, and how not everyone can stand in the shoes of a mom. We at Word of Faith want to say thank you, to all the wonderful Women who helped raise us.
Our Guest Minister Brother Elijah teaches from the Great Commission in Matthew 28. We are all called together as a unified Church Body of Christ, and we also have a specific, unique, calling. We have been called by Jesus Himself to go out into the world and there is power behind His command that we can walk in. Learn to walk confidently in that calling and let's work together for His Kingdom.
Knowledge without wisdom bears no fruit. Pastor Haagon teaches on not only asking God for His Supernatural Wisdom, but also the process on how to manifest it. There is a significance to our confession and what we speak, and we must ensure our words align with Faith and not doubt. Continue in prayer, reading God's Word, and confessing it over your life.
This week Pastor Haagon begins a new Wednesday night teaching in the book of Romans. We first look at an overview of Paul's life, as well as the cultural background of the Roman Church to understand the historical context. As we begin reading in Romans chapter 1, Pastor Haagon shows how to bring the teaching to the Roman Church into our lives today, so we may grow, and walk fully in the calling God has over our lives.
If we are to walk a life worthy of the sacrifice Jesus made, we cannot operate in the knowledge the world offers. The Bible tells us t renew our mind, so that we can know and then do the perfect will of God. Begin to seek His supernatural Wisdom in your life today and join in as Pastor Haagon teaches on the Supernatural Wisdom of God.
Wisdom can be one of the most under-rated things people can pursue from God; but it needs to be one of the most sought after. We tend to seek wisdom from those around us, and there isn't anything wrong with that! The Holy Spirit should be the first we ask though. The Wisdom of God will lead us, save us, and grow us. Join in as Pastor Haagon teaches on supernatural Wisdom in our new Sunday series.
Tonight Brother Elijah leads us through the book of 1 John Chapter 4, with a deeper perspective of Love and being God-centered. When living in the love of God there is a strong factor of commitment, that no matter what is happening you are there for those around you. This does not have to be just relationships, but with friends, family and co-workers too. Join in for today's message and be encouraged!
How would you live if you knew you had a short amount of time left on this earth? What would your top priority be? How would your conversations change? Pastor Haagon teaches on Paul's charge to Timothy to stay strong in the Faith, knowing his time was coming to an end. We have a calling, mighty of God, and we need to stand strong, and confident. Keep building your faith and don't take your life here for granted.
Happy Easter! For our Easter Sunday Service Pastor Haagon continues over our series of The Day That Changed Everything, and that was Jesus' Resurrection. It's not just the point of Jesus being arrested, beaten , or killed; but that He was resurrected from death and that has never before happened! Now that he has been resurrected we are now brought into new life when we accept Him as our Lord and Savior.
This week in James, Pastor Haagon focuses on our speech. In James chapter 3, there is a strong emphasis on our words. It is one of the most powerful tools, whether we realize it or not, with the Bible saying the Power of Death and Life are in the tongue. Just as a metal bit can control a horse, the tongue can control the direction our lives take.
For this Sunday, we at Word of Faith came to take Communion as a Faith Family. Pastor Haagon shares about the importance of why we take Communion. Please join us and take part at home with Family, and remember the joy we have from the Resurrection of our Savior Jesus.
How do you see religion? In our day and age, there is both a good and bad way to see religion. James talks about "Pure and Undefiled religion" to the Father. Astor Haagon leads us through scripture and shows us how we can walk in Purity and to be undefiled. Let the Word of God continue to grow and lead us to His ways.
The day that Jesus raised Lazarus from the grave can be more significant than we may first realize, more significant than someone just being raised from the dead! What do we know that we have today from God? What do we believe of Jesus that effects how we live today? The Resurrection of Jesus has allowed us to walk into the door that makes us Sons and Daughters of God, and we need to know how we can now live, showing others was Jesus has freely given to all.
Beginning in James 1:20, we see that we are to "Lay aside all filthiness, and to receive the implanted Word, which is able to save our souls." The Word of God helps renew our souls; The soul being our mind, will, and emotions. James shows us to use the Word as a guide to grow into His perfection. That is found in being a doer of the Word and not a hearer only.
Your comeback is always for a purpose greater than you. It is so vital to make sure we are walking in the will of God; His direction for our lives is found through times of prayer, and reading in His word. It is so easy to look and talk about the problems we are in, but don't make it the focus. Keep His faithfulness in our speech, walk through the door of The Comeback and let God work mightily in your life.
Continuing in our study on the book of James, we begin to see that what Christians believe should effect what they do. What we believe should be a constant through our actions. Our Faith should be solely based on the Word of God, letting His promises effect our motives, words, and actions.
In our last teaching we saw the mistakes of the Apostle Peter, but also a his comeback. This week we look at the key that unlocks the door to our comeback. Sometimes we make mistakes and feel like God has abandoned us. He will never leave us or forsake us. Stand strong on God's Faithfulness.
We look in the New Testament in the life of James, as well the book he wrote. What was life like in the beginning of when Christianity was established? Many traditions of Judaism were done away with when the completion of Jesus on the Cross happened; they were types and shadows of what was to happen within our hearts. We see a new life to live in now, a life of Love and Grace for those around us, and this does not depend on the person, this life Jesus died for is for all people.
Looking into the Apostle Peter's life, we first look to His denial of knowing Jesus. He failed in staying by Jesus's side, but when he notices this failure, Peter does not stay down. He has an amazing comeback. When we face failure, we should never stay down, but we need to have a comeback that God can use mightily.
Tonight our Minister in training Elijah teaches about the foundations we should establish in our lives. In these days it is so important to have our main foundations established on understanding who the Father is, and our relationship to Him. Keep our eyes focused on the Unchanging and Eternal God.
Jesus says that we shall be witnesses for Him. We should start with our Family, to our Community, and as we grow, our influence should grow also. We should be growing in boldness too, having a stronger trust in the Eternal, Unchanging God. Knowing His plans are far greater than what we can ever think.
Our hope and trust must be in the Unchanging and Unfailing God. One of the flaws that we have as humans is wanting to trust things that fall into our five senses, and none of those are eternal. As the world around us changes, we need to keep our hope and trust in the Eternal God.
Our Ability to get to Heaven is not by our ability to do, but by the ability of the One who saved us. Jesus was the Ultimate sacrifice, once-for-all. And we are placed In Him, and we need to learn our position In Him. Who are we? We are redeemed, Righteous, and In Christ.
On our first week we saw the importance of not being solely consumption minded while we go to church. This week Pastor Haagon teaches us about our purpose of connection. As the natural parts of the body need one another, the body of Christ needs all the members to work correctly. We have a supply to give to those we are around, and our connection is just as important as the whole body itself.
Everything Good available to us, is behind the door of God's Love. When we study any subject in the Bible, it all comes back to God's Love. His is the Perfect Love, and He IS the Perfect Love. Join in as Pastor Haagon teaches on God's Love in our lives.
Why do we Church? Being involved in the local church isn't just consumption only, but it should be a vital connection within our lives. We are seeking after this vital connection that brings life and healing into our lives. We are willing to walk the path of righteousness to grow and mature every day! We find God's will for our life and give that life to service for Him, being humble, kind, and full of His Love towards those we come into contact with. It is a vital connection.
Today Pastor Haagon teaches about the different ways to study, and the different reading materials we can go to. Looking at examples of Bible translations, scripture teachings, personal revelations, and devotionals, understanding that they each have their place and importance. All these materials and teaching have importance, but some more than others. Learn how to fully equip yourself with our last message of this amazing series.
Foundation is key. It's about reaching people the way God made you to be, because we all have our unique gifting He has placed within us. We don't fall into the mindset where we all fit into the same mold or image, but we fit into the body of Christ as He made us to be, beautifully, wonderfully, and uniquely made. Jesus is the Head and Leader for us to follow. He is the Foundation we build our lives on, and God puts us on His foundation to build His church. It never stops growing.
Beginning part 3 of our Fully equipped series, we look at the power contained in the Word of God. Just like if you don't have vision, if you don't understand the power, you won't have the motivation to get into the Word. We can see this as being alive, but having no quality of life. We need to understand the power in the Word, and then begin to act on that life changing power! Keep the vision, study to show yourself approved, and stand on the power that is in God's Word TODAY!
We are all in a process. When you were younger did you ever imagine how you wanted to be in life? A super smart person, someone who is kind or an encourager. Are you there yet? God is faithfully growing us, and bringing us through His process, and we need to trust in Him. We may not be there yet, we may get frustrated when we fall short, but we know that He is faithful to complete His good work in our lives. We continue to Trust His Process.
To be a strong student of the Word is to be one who is actively ready for the Kingdom of God. Just because we are born into this world does not mean we are ready to do what we are called to do, but we must prepare. We must study and prepare ourselves for our calling, find the promises of God and discover who we are positioned in Christ. Study to show ourselves approved for God's calling in our lives and be encouraged with Pastor Haagon's second message to this series of being Fully Equipped.
Today's message is brought by Brother Elijah, adding onto our new series of being fully equipped. Focusing on the standpoint to meditate in the Word of God. A focus of thinking and speaking God's Word for our lives, understanding that the power of death and life is in our words, so we should speak life. What is the intention behind our actions, and giving some scripture to study and meditate in. Our lives should be focused on God being our provider and the one who directs our steps so we may fulfill the call of God for our lives.
Today we start a new series with Pastor Haagon, beginning with the importance of vision. We need vision in front of us daily. We should continually be working to grow ourselves, and God's word is the ultimate guide to our personal and spiritual growth. Vision is the water that grows the tree of change; so find vision in God's Word, study in His word and be fully equipped for His calling.

What is it you're going to Do Different for this year to change bad habits of previous years?Who we surround ourselves with, what we listen to and what we watch are such a big influence on our lives. We can't change or control others, but I can control myself and what I do. It doesn't become a mindset of blame or pointing the finger, but a mindset of growth. To start off the new year, what will we Do Different?
Having rock solid beliefs is so very important in life. It's not being pushy about religion, but do we believe that this Gospel and Good News effects our future and the future of those around us? Jesus has always been a step ahead of us and so we need to trust His way and His guidance. This is the only way if we trust what the Bible says.

Join in for an encouraging message and be blessed!
As we finish with Thanksgiving, and are nearing Christmas and the end of the year, Pastor Haagon teaches this week on the importance of waiting on the Lord. In our busy lives we feel we need to be continually moving and working hard to bring success in life, but that is not the case. Bringing a success and balance without burnout comes from times of rest and listening to God. Spending time in this rest mindset is not passive or inactive, but is actually the opposite! Times of being quiet and still are key to a successful life, it allows us to clearly hear the voice of the Lord, so tune in and be encouraged with this wonderful message from Pastor Haagon!
This being the week of thanksgiving, Pastor Haagon shows us in scripture being thankful for the future Harvest in our lives. This life can be difficult, and that means it can be troublesome to stay in joy and thanksgiving while we are waiting for the fruit of God to manifest in our lives. We can get frustrated, or sad, but God is faithful in providing direction, giving joy, and bringing strength to us. We must continue to keep praises of Thanksgiving in our speech so we do not hinder the manifestation of a Harvest from Heaven in our lives.

Join in as Pastor Haagon ends our series of Breaking Bad doctrine in our lives, using Scripture to bring the Truth to light in our every day lives.
This Sunday is our baby dedication service, and Pastor Haagon teaches about an importance of raising the next generation in our homes. There is such an honor held to the title of Parent. We have such a responsibility in raising a new Generation, an importance in how we Love, Respect, and Discipline. This will effect their futures and how they react when they step into the mantle of the next Generation. We need to ensure the foundations of God's Word in their lives so they know how to walk successful in their future.
Have you ever wondered why do bad things keep breaking you down? What is the source of this mayhem in the world? There are different areas of our life that can become broken, and how we react is very important. It is vital to understand first that God does not bring brokenness into our lives, but He will use this brokenness to bring Glory to Him. He is Good and will bring restoration into every area of our lives, but we must search after Him. Listen today as Pastor Haagon teaches on Breaking Brokenness and understanding the root of where brokenness comes from.
When you are traveling somewhere, a dead-end is the last thing you want to see with the road you are on. When we come across these road blocks in life what do we do to react? There are many different corresponding actions and it is very important we are aware of how we react. Finding the direction, the understanding, patience and peace is something we should look towards God the Father for, because He knows the best way to get back on the road. Listen and be encouraged as Pastor Haagon teaches us about Overcoming these Dead-End places of life.
What do you think when you hear the Name of Jesus, God the Father or the Holy Spirit? God the Father knows every thing about us, every thought and action behind it. He knows us better than we know ourselves, but do we feel that we can be "open" to Him about everything in our life? Pastor Haagon teaches us in scripture about the relationship we are to have with the Lord. About how we have been adopted as sons and daughters into His family, and how should we act knowing this. We are heirs, and even joint-heirs with Christ, so grab a notebook and grow in your knowledge of sonship today.
In our new Wednesday night series Breaking bad, we take a look at breaking the bank. Today there are many false ideas of God's provision in our life, does He keep us poor, or will He give us all things we desire in this world? Having a heart for personal gain is the wrong motive and we are moved by wrong ideas. God wants to provide for us and take care of us, but we need to make sure our ideas and motives are in line with His Word. Join in for today's lesson and Break through the Bad Theology that has been made over our financial lives.
Many times when we have worries and trouble in life, we work and work. Sometimes the thought comes into our mind we have to work to gain God's approval, or that we have to work to earn His help in our lives. Working hard will not win God's affection, because He welcomed us to Himself long before we ever work to do good. Pastor Haagon takes us through the story of Mary and Martha, that there is more to life than just working hard all the time. Come join us in this week's encouraging message and allow the peace of God to come into your life, knowing that God the Father already has accepted you to Himself, just sit at His feet and listen.
This week we continue from our previous message on Restoring a Generation. In looking at the Messy Church, we focus on times when we may have been hurt by people in the church, whether those people were in leadership or just other members of the congregation. How should we react? People are not perfect, even people who are in our churches. God is perfect and He has shown us in His word how to react. The Lord is calling us to grow into a life of Holiness. This week is especially encouraging because this is a big problem we are faced with today.
Have you ever been let down? Have you ever been disappointed when something doesn't work out like you thought it would, or things just don't seem good at all? Pastor Haagon takes us through stories of certain people in scripture who went through various trials in their their lives, but God still took care of them. We are to keep Joy in our words and actions even when things are going completely against us, because our Heavenly Father is still looking out for us. It just might not be how we expect.
This week Pastor Haagon looks into the Church itself. In these days, some messy areas have developed into the church and we need to take initiative to help clean it out. We are open for anyone to join our Family of Faith but we are not to water-down the message of Jesus Christ. We are called to a Ministry of Reconciliation, showing the world that Jesus has reconciled us back to God through the payment of His blood. It can be a little messy, but we are to work together as the Body of Christ and reach this new upcoming Generation in the Fullness of the Gospel.
Pastor Haagon continues his new teaching lesson on Restoring a Generation. This week we go over the foundations we are to build in our own lives; starting with a life founded upon God's Word, establishing His Truth's in our home, and having an effective outreach in our local community. Before we reach this new generation, we need to make sure we are grounded on the Truth of God's Word and are truly led by His Spirit. We hope you are encouraged this week, and continue to join us online or in person.
In one of our last teachings with the Partnership of the Holy Spirit, Pastor Haagon takes us into the ministry of Jesus. How He operated in the Holy Spirit and with power, Acts 10:38.

Helping us to train up this new generation in Biblical Truths and not to fall into "doctrines of demons," scripture calls it.

We must stand firm and be ready to encourage, rebuke, and restore when needed, using the story of the Prodigal son for our first example.
Pastor Haagon begins to teach again over the Partnership of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Specifically the importance of Him being apart of the Trinity in the Godhead, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We as the church and body of Christ have an amazing calling and we should be walking in the Holy Spirit and Power, just as Jesus did. Acts 10:38.
